Only if everyone assessing Scriptures used that same method in consistently the same ways. But there is not just one method for assessing Scriptures. You get different interpretations because some people use different methods of interpretation, and some people use the same method but in different ways (approaching the task with different presuppositions, e.g., source of authority), etc.
Then it is NOT a method ... it is a bunch of people each doing their own thing!
